@Farstarbuck

Did you bother to read the post at all or just skim over it? While the stuntman who was delivering the aston martin to the set was fine, the stuntman involved in the accident in the alfa romeo 159 whilst filming is critically injured and fighting for his life…

According to the Metro, a free paper in the UK, the driver was absolutely fine, came to in the water and was then fined for dangerous driving by the local police!!

“The man behind the wheel of James Bondâ€™s Aston Martin has been fined Â£400 for dangerous driving after he drove the car into a lake during filming - reports the Daily Times.

British engineer Fraser Dunn, 29, was left shaken and more than a little stirred after the Â£134,000 Aston Martin DBS slid off the road and plunged into Lake Garda in northern Italy, where filming is taking place on the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace.

Now local police have said he has been given a mandatory fine for dangerous driving. Local police chief Marco Zucchelli said: â€œThis is a standard fine for dangerous driving because the driver lost control of the car.â€ Dunn, who is from Leamington Spa, was left with just minor injuries after the accident.”

Sure he might have been taken to the Hospital for a check up, but i think “fighting for his life’ was a bit over dramatic.

What Black Eagle said,

Was there a cage even inserted into the frame? Isn’t it usual practice that they do this with every stunt involving a car, even if it’s just a chase scene?

Also, the This is London article is gone.

I don’t understand why they didn’t build a cage inside the car.
Every other stunt car that I know use a cage in case that they roll over.

I hope he has a speedy recovery. Seriously, though… couldn’t these stunts be pre-programmed, as to removing the need of having an actual driver inside. Just for the sake of getting a shot of someone inside the vehicle. I’m sure there’s technology to do this. The driver could also drive it remotely - in a scene mockup - while receiving a live video feed.

It’s sad to think that they are talking of a “Curse”. Lets just hope he gets at least mentioned in the Directors Commentary.

Oh and good luck and all that jazz.
